Dianna,

I see a couple of things that might improve this very nice painting. First, I would give this little girl something to rest her arm on. Give the idea, or illusion, that she is resting on something -- a pillow, a blanket. This would give her a more grounded feel and also separate her from the background.

Secondly, I would try to integrate her hair a little more with the background. The edges of her hair are a little sharp and are giving a bit of a cut-out appearance.

The little girl's face is very well done.
